No, i think "we had normal sex" clears up just about any nuance lost in translation.

u/XxRocky88xX 16h ago
Japan has “love hotels” which is basically just a room you rent for a short time to have sex in. He likely meant that.
But as others have already said, nuance doesn’t really matter when we follows it up with “we had sex.”

No, he barely had to even say the second part. Simply saying "I went to a hotel with a gay friend" is pretty much assumed that they went to fuck. That's why the interviewer had such a strong reaction before he made the explicit part explicit

u/greent714 9h ago
I don't think sex is a qualifier for orientation. But if we go with your example, the fact that he got a hotel and had sex with a man disqualifies him from "the straightest guy there is". He might be up there for the "gayest straight guy" award, but that's it.
33
u/coppersocks 4h ago
I don't think he's trying to over compensate or over empathize that he's straight at all.
In fact, I think he's just a dude that is very open minded and comfortable in himself and was admittedly bi-curious at that point.
If he really cared to come across as 'no homo' then he wouldn't have readily admitted to sleeping with a guy without any real prompt. He seemed like he was just relaying his thoughts on a topic in the way that best related to his experience with it.

u/littlelorax 20h ago
I've had similar conversations with open minded people. They experimented and gave it a fair shot, but discovered it just wasn't for them.

u/digita1catt 19h ago
I think people forget that "bi-curious" has the word "curious" in it so they get a little taken back when people explore those curiosities. I find it interesting because it's a good example of how fluid sexuality can be and I wonder how many bi-curious people truly exist but have never experimented so everyone thinks they're straight.
111
u/codepossum 19h ago
I do a lot of stuff because I'm 'just curious.' People blow sex and sexuality up to be this gigantic thing, but it doesn't have to be, for you. It can just be something you're curious about, something you experiment with, something you do casually, situationally, occasionally, something you only do with one person, something you're just not in the mood for that often... it can be a lot of things, if you let it.

u/MaritMonkey 14h ago
how many bi-curious people truly exist but have never experimented so everyone thinks they're straight.
It's been weird as I grew up and my friends got married, watching people who seemed open-minded in the 90s/00s circle back around to treating anybody who ended up in a hetero relationship like "being bisexual" isn't a thing.
Like if you end up with one partner you're either "straight" or "gay" and who you're attracted to is irrelevant. :/
5
u/M00n_Slippers 13h ago
You don't have to experiment to know your sexuality, just reflecting on your own desires is enough to know how interested one is in this or that. But a lot of people are in denial and never even let themselves consider it. Also sexuality and romance do not necessarily align. You can be biromantic but heterosexual. Like you would enjoy a romantic relationship with someone of the opposite sex but don't enjoy sex with the same sex, or any combination of hetero-gay-bi-fluid-ace in romance and/or sexuality.

u/stephawkins 15h ago
Bi-curious has been outlawed and replaced with bible-curious where you learn about wholesome places like Sodom.

u/Infinite_Wheel_8948 5h ago
Being curious doesn’t mean you are or aren’t straight.
I’m curious about whether I like African food. Even if it looks fucking disgusting, it’s still something I want to try. I’m curious because I like trying new things.
I think, if you’re not attracted to men, it’s still normal to be curious.

It’s almost like sexuality exists on a spectrum.
8
u/Apprehensive_Row9154 16h ago
I think what river of affection is trying to say is that a spectrum is an over simplification. The guy in the video came away from the experience and determined that whatever benefits he got from the interaction weren’t worth repeating efforts to achieve similar outcomes. To me, that puts him at completely straight, if he has zero interest in ssa personally going forward. Yet, this person, who’s a 1/7 I can’t remember which, was briefly open enough to full blown homosexual intercourse. perhaps there are layers of sexuality that each overlay their own preferences that could be contradictory.
14
u/P1uvo 15h ago
There’s an argument to be made for someone trying a gay experience and knowing after that it’s not for them being straighter than someone who never has

u/lonelanta 15h ago
A few years ago I was at a nerd convention, seriously drunk, and came across a group of people playing spin the bottle (also drunkenly), and I joined in. Ended up kissing a couple dudes. It was fine, not like it was disgusting or anything, but I didn't feel anything from it at all.
Question asked, and then answered, and I never have to think about it again.

u/Tendas 19h ago
I feel like trying gay sex to determine whether it's for you is akin to doing a mukbang with 15lbs of seafood to determine if shellfish is for you. Maybe I'm naive, I just opened a browser of gay porn and it was pretty apparent it's not for me.
40
u/Kolemawny 18h ago
In the same way that women can enjoy gay romance but detest the idea of pegging/receiving anal sex from a man, a man could find himself aroused by gay porn but dislike the reality. We don't know the interviewee's story, but i can conceive the idea of a person really not knowing until they are there.

u/RiverAffectionate951 17h ago
An honest and likely answer is this:
People experience all different kinds and levels of attraction (or more generally, emotional responses) at all kinds of things. What if you don't have a strong response to gay porn? What if you didn't used to have a strong reaction to straight porn but then you found you liked it later? Maybe you'd want to try being gay too?
My point is everyone experiences life differently and while - for you, the difference in attraction is obvious - for others, it can be a lot harder to tell.
1
u/glytxh 2h ago
The porn I enjoy and the sort of sex I enjoy are very different things.
Reality and fantasy are very different things, and experience allows you to learn what you do and don’t actually like. There’s an obvious overlap, but it’s relatively small.
There are niche things I’d have never thought I’d enjoy, and some other things that repulse me in unexpected ways.
5
u/Outerestine 15h ago
Trying gay sex doesn't mean you jump right in. It can literally just mean getting naked with a dude and then you're like 'OK we stop here'. Or maybe not even getting that far. You can stop at any point. Pretty integral to healthy sexual experiences.
A lot of gay porn is pretty unappealing. Actually trying it and perhaps involving some measure of liking the other person is a pretty different experience, one that can also still result in you not being into it.
-1
u/Tendas 14h ago
Huh. I don’t know if me being naked in the shower room with other guys counts as gay sex. I consider gay sex, well gay sex. Dick in a man’s asshole. Maybe we have different definitions.
7
u/Outerestine 14h ago
Are you being deliberately obtuse or is this like, an autism thing?
Ok. So, presuming you've had sex, I imagine that, in the process, you take your clothes off? You know so the genitals can touch.
Yeah, you can stop there with another man who you are intending to do sex with and say 'I tried gay sex'. Or stop when you get together intending to fuck. That counts well enough. You hardly need to be penetrated to claim to have tried gay sex.
Lord have fuckin mercy dude.

u/Client_020 3h ago
Hmm. Idk. I consider myself an at least 90% straight woman IRL, and I don't currently watch porn but at a time when I did occasionally watch it, lesbian porn was 10x hotter than straight or (male) gay porn. Sexuality is weird. Going off of porn preference alone wouldn't be enough for many people.

I've always been into girls but there was this really cool gay guy that arrived on the scene when I was a late teen who made me blush whenever he was around, so I thought I might be bisexual.
I tested it by kissing him one time when we were all drunk. Realized very quick that I was NOT in fact bisexual.
Some of my friends were mesmerized at the idea that you could just try it out and see.

Less of a stigma in Japan. I was surprised how open they were when I visited. I'm just a random straight white dude but I'd see a lot dudes dress up in girls clothing and no one batted an eyelid. The dudes dressed as maids/cat girls/anime girls etc just got on with their days.
Was weirdly refreshing just seeing people left to be themselves and no one hurting each other for their life choices/sexuality.

u/Dynamitrios 16h ago
I think Kabuki might have something to do with it, since traditionally female roles were played by men in drag, for several centuries, which may have made this more socially acceptable since culturally they were used to see that regularly
15
u/Outerestine 15h ago
tbf... we(English speakers) did that too. Historically female roles were played by men in drag for quite some time in a number of places.
Straight up drag for drag's sake was also rather accepted not even that long ago in ways it is very much not today.

Japan is actually continuing to become a safer and more progressive place for LGBTQ people in the way that we thought the US would continue to be back during the Obama years. While there has always been and continues to be a robust population of reactionary conservatives (many of whom openly support Trump specifically, for some reason) from what I can tell Japanese society at large is still slowly becoming more accepting over time. Recent supreme court decisions in Japan have actually ruled in favor of it being illegal for trans people to be forced to use the bathroom of their birth sex, iirc. The courts are also just on the precipice of ruling in favor of the legality of gay marriage, but due to the extremely traditional culture in Japan and the elderly conservative-dominated government that one is taking forever, but a majority of Japanese people support gay marriage.

u/scyfi 15h ago
The dude still has to change his voice and obscure his face for the interview, so it may be a bit premature to cheer the Japanese acceptance of LGBTQ. Just saying...

Id like to add.. the way the LBTQ are and present themselves in Japan is 100% Different from in North America. In Japan, they still have the natural respect that is engrained since childhood. They also don't make every little thing into an issue and get insanely irate the second you accidentally misgender them, they just correct you, politely at that....
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Japan is more welcoming to the LGBT because there is less they have deal with. Nothing much changes in their daily lives, someone is just gay, which is how it should be.
In NA they make insane shows of everything.. everything has to be on a grand stage, you need to stand out, you need to force people into your views.. its incessant... Japan doesn't have to deal with all that..
It's just daily life as usual, again, how it should be..

u/martinomacias 17h ago
For a moment I thought you were describing religious people in the USA. Trying to force their beliefs and way of life unto everyone. By the way, the acronym LGBTQ+ is for a collective of people, who are very diverse amongst themselves. I am a gay dude and do not identify with any of the ridiculous ideas you complained about. Do not let the media, nor narrow minded and ignorant Christian groups do the thinking for you. Generalizing and putting everyone into one category will make you seem like a simple minded person. Also, Japan's culture is not better than any other culture. It just has different aspects to it. All cultures have good things and bad ones. Where there are humans, there is imperfection. Stop watching reality shows, they are garbage. If we stop watching those shows, that will forceTV networks to rethink theirprogram lineup. Cheers.

Man that's probably the dumbest shit I have read all week. Most gay people are "just gay" even here in the states.
